[Verse 1]
Gbm Cb
Now I've been high and I've been low
Gbm Cb
I've been some places that you will not go
Gbm Cb
I never thought there would come the day
Gbm Cb
When I wished I never would've lived this way
D#m Db
But I've been searching for a long, long time
D#m Db
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
D#m Db
I turned my back on everything that was true
D#m Db
And wasted years that belong to you

Gbm Cb
It took so long for me to see
Gbm Cb
That I'm a victim of nature and me
Gbm Cb
Left to myself I realize
Gbm Cb
I am the maker of my own demise
D#m Db
But you accept me every time and again
D#m Db
And never mention just how selfish I've been
D#m Db
Why must it always take me so long to see
D#m Db
That I have fallen but you will forgive me?

N.A#
The warning signs are like flares in the night
N.A#
Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire
N.A#
I know that's bound to burn
N.A#
Why is it that I always gotta learn…
